For the new-build project for Building 7 at St. Gallen Cantonal Hospital, as part of the overall "come together" project, we delivered the following types of doors:
patient room doors, fire protection doors, soundproof doors and x-ray doors. For hospitals, functional doors that can be custom-designed are particularly important, as they often need to combine several functions. This is precisely our strength, as we manufacture every door to be perfectly tailored to the project and made on measures.

For this project, all nursing room doors feature synthetic resin door leaves, robust chrome steel frames and stainless steel edge protection.

Soundproof doors

Customised, double-leaf soundproof door in a restaurant — This double-leaf soundproof door was customised for a restaurant in Europa-Park. It fulfils the highest requirements for sound insulation and design.

Soundproof doors are functional doors that reduce the transmission of sound between different rooms or from the outside into the building and have a sound-insulating effect. Due to denser construction, increasing population density and the growing importance of working from home, the requirements for structural sound insulation are constantly increasing. In many cases, legal requirements also demand tested sound insulation. RWD Schlatter has extensive expertise in the field of sound insulation. Thanks to the company's own sound test bench, door elements can be tested and optimized.
